Adopt-a-Turkey Project

Start a new Thanksgiving tradition by sponsoring a turkey through Farm Sanctuary'sAdopt-a-Turkey Project! Each year, Farm Sanctuary offers the opportunity to sponsor a rescued turkey and support their efforts to care for these beautiful creatures throughout the year. A one-time $30 donation allows you to sponsor a turkey of your choice at one of their three shelters. (My family chose Turpentine, a handsome fellow who enjoys snacking on kiwi and melon!)

Each sponsor will receive a special Adopt-a-Turkey certificate with a photo and details about your new friend. Now that's one turkey you'll be proud to have at your holiday table!

Thanks for watching!

For a peek at how Farm Sanctuary's turkeys are celebrating Thanksgiving this year, take a look at the Good Morning America segment that aired on Sunday, November 17, profiling the sanctuary's annual Celebration for the Turkeys.

With such a strong focus on eating turkey, Thanksgiving can be a tough holiday for vegetarians and vegans. One farm animal rights group put a spin on tradition by throwing a festive Thanksgiving feast where “turkeys are the guests of honor, rather than part of the menu.”
